More students than ever at Hillsborough schools

Student enrollment cracked 200,000 for the first time ever in the Hillsborough County School District, according to figures released today.

The school district now has 201,363 students, the school district said. That’s an increase of 2,313 from last year.

The figures represent the number of students enrolled on the 20th day of classes. The annual tally of students is used, among other things, to calculate the amount of state funding the district will receive.
